I hear tell it's #portfolioday! I'm Alyssa, a multidisciplinary illustrator that can most frequently be found using @poscauk markers, @DalerRowney acrylic ink, and an iPad + @Procreate.

Artwork lives at https://t.co/L82SO7LP06 and prints at https://t.co/mAm0eSq13X. DM to collab!

Help us choose the title of our next book! We'll be choosing in a couple of days

[Planet Scumm @planetscumm]

Now, look... generally these sort of superficial decisions are the exclusive domain of our Patreon Scumm Senators and Czars, but because there are only two such folk right now we are open for input from twitter (or, the Scumm proletariat).

What should we title Issue #12?

[Planet Scumm @planetscumm]

Planet Scumm Creative Director Alyssa Alarcón Santo (@traitorlegs) and illustrator Maura McGonagle (@doingartiguess) got together to discuss the inspiration behind Maura's cover illustration for Plant Scumm #11, "Snake Eyes." Get your eyes on it!

@ScottJ_Moses @planetscumm Oh hey! I'm the book designer and this is a very high compliment that means a lot. Thank you!! We work hard on Planey Scumm and we're so glad you like the book 🥰

Literally every weekend.

@certaintragedy Oh god, I'm afraid to even ask what they've done to it since I've been gone. 😂 The green line was truly my nemesis.

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

@certaintragedy I'm curious if they'll also be stepping up resources for disabled people? In my experience, Boston public transit is nearly impossible to use as a disabled person and I would be been screwed without my car.

not nearly enough people talking about ska

@foxville_art As an attendee, I spent a lot of money at the virtual tables. I'm disabled and going to a physical convention isn't something I can comfortably do, so having a virtual option was incredible. Accessibility for folks like me is literally never taken into account. 😭

me: “hey I’m getting some work done and actually being productive.”

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

@doingartiguess You too!! ♥️ I've done absolutely nothing today except get deeper into my blanket, lol. We're going to watch a @JukeboxtheGhost concert livestream this evening and I'm pretty stoked that I can do that and still be in the blanket. 🤩 How are you feeling now?

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

Still feeling that second panel two days later 🙃🙃🙃 I am, of course, thrilled to be fully vaxxed, I'd just love it if my joints would chill the hell out for a minute.

@jheijndermans @planetscumm Yay, I'm glad it made it to you! You really captured that holographic nicely!

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

@jheijndermans Wow, Joachim! That's incredible!! Love, Death, and Robots is so good.

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

It seems like @artfolapp is back up now, some come find me over there! Even with some early days glitchiness, I'm really loving it so far. Already found some great artists I hadn't come across in IG!

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

@HaileyPiperSays I feel this so hard 😂

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

I designed these cute lil shields for my Incredible friend's dissertation project. The lettering is custom, the stickers are holographic, and I am high-key stoked with how they turned out. 🥰

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

@gegallas I really hope Artfol takes off! There's a lot of promise there, once everything starts loading faster. 😂

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

@Bizar_Gomez OH, I didn't realize it actually launched. 🤦🏻‍♀️ See ya over there!

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

@Bizar_Gomez Oh, how cool!! You're in the beta? And yeah, same. I've been waiting so imptiently for something else to enter the ring 😂

[Alyssa Alarcón Santo @traitorlegs]

@Bizar_Gomez Looking forward to this hitting iOS. What are your first impressions?
